Instructions
Preparation
In a mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, saving a few for topping if desired.
Forming the Bites
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls.
Place them on the baking sheet and gently flatten into disc shapes.
Freeze for 1 to 2 hours until firm.
Coating
Melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Remove the frozen discs from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool.
Tap off the excess chocolate and return each coated bite to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with your choice of toppings such as crushed peanuts, sea salt flakes, or shredded coconut.
Final Freezing
Freeze the coated bites again for 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.
Transfer the frozen bites to an airtight container and store them in the freezer.
Let them sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before serving for a creamy, delicious texture.
Notes
Make sure to stir the mixture thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients evenly. Use a cookie scoop for uniformity in size. Experiment with different toppings for variations.
